Peter J Charles launched the A Tom Kessler Operation series in 2025 with A Detective’s Dilemma. It is a recent mystery series that already has three books, with the second installment, A Minister’s Downfall, also arriving in 2025 and the third, A Hidden Enemy, following in 2026.
The titles suggest a series built around investigations that reach into political and institutional circles, not just street-level crime. With three books published across two years, Charles has been putting them out at a steady clip. Readers looking for a new mystery series from the ground floor will find this one easy to catch up on.
